This method can be used to sprout many small seeds indoors. We often use it to determine which packs of older seeds are still viable. 

All you do is wet two sheets of paper towels and place the seeds in between them. If you do not have access to paper towels, newspaper cut to size would work too. Slip the paper-seed combination into a ziploc bag or other airtight plastic container. I’ve saved and reused old ramen containers; they have the added benefit of allowing me to stack them!  Place seeds near a well-lit window where the warmth and light will stimulate growth. You should expect to see sprouts if the seeds are alive.
